A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, THE ECONOMIST AND DEADSPIN

Award-winning journalist Sam Anderson's long-awaited debut is a brilliant, kaleidoscopic narrative of Oklahoma City--a great American story of civics, basketball, and destiny.

Oklahoma City was born from chaos. It was founded in a bizarre but momentous "Land Run" in 1889, when thousands of people lined up along the borders of Oklahoma Territory and rushed in at noon to stake their claims. Since then, it has been a city torn between the wild energy that drives its outsized ambitions, and the forces of order that seek sustainable progress. Nowhere was this dynamic better realized than in the drama of the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team's 2012-13 season, when the Thunder's brilliant general manager, Sam Presti, ignited a firestorm by trading future superstar James Harden just days before the first game. Presti's all-in gamble on "the Process"--the patient, methodical management style that dictated the trade as the team's best hope for long-term greatness--kicked off a pivotal year in the city's history, one that would include pitched battles over urban planning, a series of cataclysmic tornadoes, and the frenzied hope that an NBA championship might finally deliver the glory of which the city had always dreamed.

Boom Town
announces the arrival of an exciting literary voice. Sam Anderson, former book critic for New York magazine and now a staff writer at the New York Times magazine, unfolds an idiosyncratic mix of American history, sports reporting, urban studies, gonzo memoir, and much more to tell the strange but compelling story of an American city whose unique mix of geography and history make it a fascinating microcosm of the democratic experiment. Filled with characters ranging from NBA superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook; to Flaming Lips oddball frontman Wayne Coyne; to legendary Great Plains meteorologist Gary England; to Stanley Draper, Oklahoma City's would-be Robert Moses; to civil rights activist Clara Luper; to the citizens and public servants who survived the notorious 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building, Boom Town offers a remarkable look at the urban tapestry woven from control and chaos, sports and civics.

most can fit saros 10, but not all
Color: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX Accessories Kit, Color: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX Accessories Kit
I should have done a little more research with these. I purchased this for a Saros 10, i thought the Saros 10 and 10R was basically the same besides the filters. I was wrong. Although the brushes are the same size, they didnt fit. They lacked a special metal piece on one side, and the 10R has a different shape on the other, cant even jerry rig it to fit. The filters didnt fit my Saros 10, but that didnt cause the dropped rating, but they quality of it looks very good, and seems well made. The side brushes are good and they fit my Saros 10, replaced them and didnt have a problem. The bags also fit and they are very good. The mopping brushes did not fit, but it was very well made and definitely wasnt just a cheap set. The brush and screw driver were just to add additional number counts and basically useless.

Get the OEM mop cloths
Size: normal
When buying accessories for my eufy robot vac, I originally got my hands on some dupe accessories because they were cheaper. However- the mop cloths did not work well. The cheap construction of the dupes caused threads to constantly come out and get tangled, causing the robot to error out. I got these OEM ones and they work MUCH better. In this case it's best to buy the OEM parts even though they are more expensive!
